TV: FX Orders ‘American Horror Story’ Series For Fall Premiere

FX has been on-board with Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story since day one, ordering a pilot back in February and even projecting a Fall premiere before it was even shot (or cast). Looks like this was one of those times when gut instinct is spot on because FX has ordered a 13 episode first season and are looking to launch the series on October 5. Production will be starting within the next two weeks.

The spooky project centers on Ben Harmon (Dylan McDermott), a handsome therapist who, along with his wife (Connie Britton) and their kids, move from Boston to a haunted San Francisco home in an attempt to rebuild the family after a miscarriage and affair.
